Re: [RDD] Will it ever be possible to voicetrack in RDAirPlay?
It looks like more people is looking for this feature. We can always discuss later, how exactly voice-tracking should work in RDAirplay. But right now I would like to hear from the developers, if they will consider this feature? If they will, I will keep testing Rivendell, so there's a chance it could replace our current system Thank you! Kind regards, Morten 2012/1/16 Marius Radiok=E6ll Qtronix qtro...@halden.net: Agreed! This would be a very useful feature indeed! I still wish the logs were split into hours instead of days too. This way rdairplay wouldn't have to reload the whole day's log but only the loaded one (if the loaded one was the one being modified). Else, it wouldn't have to do anything but load the next hour (modified or not). :) Not really a must, but it'd be useful in my opinion. :) - Marius On man, januar 16, 2012 22:25, ltynd...@cogeco.ca wrote: Hi, I could be incorrect, but I think part of the request is to be able to access the voicetracking module/capability directly from RDAirplay's log editor. One commercial system that I work with (I won't mention which one) has this ability - to voicetrack directly from the log editor which is displayed in the on-air room while the on-air playou= t engine keeps going. =A0In fact it uses the same log editor whether you're at the on-air location or somewhere else. =A0Y= ou just scroll down in the log, highlite / click on the voicetrack entry you want to record, and hit the Record button. It'll let you do your voicetrack. =A0Since voicetracking is a part of the log editor, and the same log editor is us= ed for both the on-air system and elsewhere, it makes it very easy for someone to do both a live and a voicetracked shif= t at the same time. I've seen jocks do a live break, then while music plays scroll down in the log and record 2 - 3 voicetracks which are scheduled for later in the day, then come back and do another live break without any need to switchfrom one application to another - all within the same log editor. With Rivendell the closest you currently can get is to open up the log editor alongside RDAirplay. =A0This isn't impossible, but does create an extra step and has the potential to cause confusion. I'm not sure what would be involved, but perhaps an idea to look at woul= d be adding a Voicetrack button into RDAirplay's log editor which could call up the VT module. =A0Just a thou= ght. Our morning-show is almost live - the hosts always makes the next coupl= e of speaks as voicetracks, so they have more time to find the latest show-prep. In our current radio automation that is no problem, but I've played around with Rivendell, and this looks more complicated when it comes to voicetracking a live show. I can't make the hosts run the show in RDAirPlay while voicetracking in log-edit, and then always refresh the log. .. Thus, the sixth track in the 9 PM hour on Wednesday is cart number 932106. The tracks are pre-inserted in all the daily logs; some may be skipped by rdairplay if they're not used. But the log never has to be refreshed; i= f a track is recorded or imported, it will play automatically where it is called for in the log. ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

[RDD] Show only first 100 matches
Is there any way in RD 2.0.2 to get this to default to Unchecked? When you have 1000+ carts in a group, the likelihood of the one you're looking for showing up in the first 100 matches is remote, and this feature is rarely useful.

Re: [RDD] Show only first 100 matches
If my memory serves me (probably doesn't) I think it was limited to 100 for performance reasons with large data sets.

Agreed. I can't seem to find a place to disable this feature. Cheers, Paul.

No. At one point (back in beta) it would actually 'remember' the the state it was in when RDLibrary was last closed, and then come up the same way. It got changed to be default 'off' after users at one of our test sites with a large library (10+ carts) would turn it off and then forget to reset it. It made for a looonng startup wait... :) When you have 1000+ carts in a group, the likelihood of the one you're looking for showing up in the first 100 matches is remote, and this feature is rarely useful. I would argue that, if your result set is that large, you need to refine it further in the filter. However, how about a configuration setting in RDAdmin to specify the default state, possible choices being: On Off Previous setting Cheers! |-| | Frederick F.
